WOW !! what a terrific and invaluable amount of information. Thank you Captain Fallon for making these operation reports available and thank you Marion for posting them.
BUT........ now i`m confused again.....
In the unit list for the 36th Eng Beach group supporting the 3rd Inf Div at Cavalaire for the Invasion of Southern France, it lists my dad`s unit.. 706th MP PW Det. Dad had told me he landed at St Raphael with engineers supporting the 141st Reg. Sooooooo..... either his memory failed or another Det of the 706th MP landed with the 36 Inf Div?
Me thinks i need to grab a shovel & move to College Park & do some serious diggin
Research is so much fun! another clue usualy leads to another hole in the puzzle.
